"Ion" writes to the Baltimore Sun: "It is believed that a very extensive military and prominent movement is now on foot in this country, with the purpose of uniting in a plan for the regeneration of Mexico. About ten thousand men have already been enrolled as Knight Crusaders of the Order of Montezumas. Funds and munitions of war have been, or will be fully provided for the enterprise. Loans based on the generosity of an adequate American firm will be taken, and by British bond-holders. The resources of Mexico, under a good government would be immense. The whole debt, foreign and domestic, would be but a "flea bite," as Mr. Disraeli would say, in comparison with the revenue to be derived from her vast mineral and agricultural wealth."
